PRINCE OF POT: FIRST THE BUST, NOW THE T-SHIRT

VANCOUVER-- After Winona, Martha and Michael, you knew there was no way to 
avoid it: The T-shirt was inevitable.

And sure enough, just six days after the arrest of B.C. marijuana activist 
Marc Emery, there it was on the Internet. At a cost of between $13.50 and 
$20, supporters of the Prince of Pot can get their pick of tees emblazoned 
with the phrase: "My Seed Supplier Was Extradited To The USA And All I Got 
Was This Stupid T-shirt!"

Surprisingly though, the man behind the T-shirts has never even smoked a joint.

"I'm one of those people who've never even smoked a joint because I don't 
really see a need for doing that," said 36-year-old Nathan Rebney. "But I 
don't like the U.S. coming in and getting the Vancouver police to do all 
their dirty work. So while I don't really support Marc Emery, I don't like 
what's being done."

So far, Rebney hasn't sold any of his products, which include baby tees and 
a mug, but the New Westminster resident says he's not too upset.

"Do I expect to make a million dollars? No. Do I expect to make any money? 
No. But hey, if people get a laugh out of it, that works for me," says Rebney.

Emery was recently arrested and faces possible extradition to the United 
States on charges of selling marijuana seeds.
